30.66 is what percent of 440 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 440 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 440, so we can write it down as 100%=440.
4. We know, that x% equals 30.66 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.66.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=440
2) x%=30.66
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=440/30.66
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30.66 is what percent of 440

100%/x%=440/30.66
(100/x)*x=(440/30.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.350945857795*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.350945857795) to get x
100/14.350945857795=x
6.9681818181818=x
x=6.9681818181818

now we have:
30.66 is 6.9681818181818% of 440
